I used to update my src and ports using cvsup. Having seen the light I am trying to change to using cvsup for updating the repository and then cvs to update my src and ports trees. Eventually I would like to change to using CTM for the repo and then cvs for update my src and ports trees. My supfile that I use with cvsup to update the repo is: > cat my-supfile *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/scratch/Repository *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix umask=002 *default compress src-all ports-all doc-all I then have CVSROOT set to "/scratch/Repository" and I was populating /usr/src as an unprived user like so: cd /usr cvs checkout src cd /usr/src make buildworld etc etc etc etc Sometime later after more fixes to -CURRENT I would > cvsup my-supfile to update the repo and then: cd /usr cvs checkout src <--- Am I meant to use cvs update src here ? Whether I use cvs update or cvs checkout, I'm finding that my /usr/src/UPDATING file is an old version compared to the file UPDATING,v in the repository. Reading the manual page of cvs just confused me. I think there is a need for a Handbook entry on this. When will the FAQ die cause its confusing to have the handbook and the FAQ. Please help!
